I said Yes on Sat last, Oct 30th. Niamh was an absolute star assistant. My cousin and I enjoyed nothing but fun whilst I was trying on dresses, and Niamh just aced picking dresses out for me. Can't wait to go back for the dress in the New Year. Great place, truly deserving of 5 stars. M

I am sorry, I never do reviews but my experience of this shop was dreadful. Fine until you had made an order, but following that the whole experience of the fittings was very stressful. I was left still waiting for the bridesmaid dresses to be delivered right up to the day before the wedding itself. This obviously left very little time for alterations to be made. In the end, the bridesmaids dresses were too long and they had to be held up in order to walk more than a few steps. My bridal dress was only fine because it was bought "off the rail" gladly. Not what a bride needs at all in the run up

The place is a joke of a shop when you buy a wedding dress and they can't even measure your bride up correctly and give them a dress that is way too big obviously they haven't ordered the correct size wouldn't recommend them to anyone at all. If you do go there make sure you have someone to alter the dress to fit your bride cause they either can't read the measurements correctly or just judge what size anybody is and the fact that it will cost a few hundred for the alterations to be done cause they give people dresses that are way to big. Plus you buy a tiara and veil out of it and they give you

Recently was there as a maid of honour, the girls in store (particular Catherine) were so helpful and couldnt do more to help the bride find her perfect dress. Which...she did! Beautiful range of dresses to try on and more than accommodating for special alterations

Helped me get a dress within a month after having an absolute disaster at another bridal shop and recommended the fabulous Dawn who did the alterations for me. Extremely greatful for the easy and pleasant experience after such a horrible time elsewhere.

Highly recommend Pronuptia. Lisa was my assistant and went above and beyond to help me find the perfect dress. I was by myself and she held my phone so I could show my sisters via video call! Absolutely stunning dresses in stock
